The Washington Post is thrilled to announce its 2022 Summer Intern Class. This will be the 59th summer that The Post has welcomed college juniors, seniors and graduate students into the newsroom to work alongside some of the world’s best journalists. Over the years, many of those interns have stayed at The Post and gone on to produce consequential journalism with far-reaching impact. Some have won Pulitzer Prizes; 1964 intern Leonard Downie became executive editor; and Krissah Thompson, from the class of 2001, is leading the newsroom as a managing editor.

The interns represent 18 colleges and universities and will work as reporters, photographers, videographers, graphics reporters and developers, designers, editorial writers, multiplatform editors and producers, social media editors and audio producers.

Two interns have been named Bradlee Fellows, in recognition of the courage and integrity that legendary Washington Post Executive Editor Benjamin C. Bradlee instilled in his newsroom. Founded in 2018, the Bradlee Fellows program is funded by a gift from Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward and his wife, journalist Elsa Walsh.
